Replacement laptop (insurance) toshiba offered.

[Alio]

I'm guessing this is of no use, but is this the Toshiba Laptop?

so I finally got sorted but here's a question.

I need to make recovery discs, if I load microsoft office first will it include that, and thus not delete the files if I have to use the disc ?

reason is, on my arl one I had loaded office myself, then when I had to use the rec discs I lost everything related to office, as trhe file extensions weren't for the software on the disc it deleted them, which meant i lost a hell of a lot of stuff including every email address from outlook. People say they are in there somewhere but I can confirm that they weren't.

Sawdust, sprinkled over your keyboard. Leave overnight.

Sorted.

I just dropped the laptop and broke the screen.

There are screen for 40 odd quid, how easy are they to fit ?

Data Connector behind the screen: 40 pin flat


I have got new gadget insurance actually, accidental damage is included. They would just replace the screen for me I think, if there's a £50 excess (not sure) then it would cost me the same but be fitted for me.

Arses though.

My mars boyfriend fitted my screen for me, but hes a spark by trade, so im sure it was easy for him.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Fixed. £69 fitted.

All clean and bereft of fingerprints etc now, and seems so big after the netbook.

or does it beat it hands down unequivocally in every dept. ?

aren't the toshibas prone to problems ? like 'black screen'

Mine did And it was never fixed, lost all my photos from my time in Oz.

Why didn't you remove the hard drive and put it in a caddy ? I was told that you can recover the docs by doing that, and also then use it as a seperate hard drive.

Also, with memory cards costing the equivalent of what a 36 exposure film and developing used to cost, I never delete any now, I still copy them but just keep the memory cards as extra back up, and they hold the equivalent of hundreds of rolls of film each.

My teccy mate had a look at it, told him what was on there and not to wipe anything. He gave it back to me and said he couldnt fix it. Eventually I put the hard drive into a different laptop, everything was gone!

sounds like he may have formatted it.
